Loading Wood into the HEATMOR™
Please read through the entire HEATMOR™ Operation and Maintenance Manual and talk
to your local dealer for instruction. Ask for a demonstration from your local dealer. It is very
important to fully educate all those who will be loading the furnace with wood.
Loading a large amount of wood into the HEATMOR™ furnace once a day is not always
best. We have found that you have a more efcient re and produce less smoke when
you add fuel twice a day. Example: Half of the days’ demand in the morning and half in the
evening. The number of loadings and the amount of wood needed will vary depending on
the amount of heat being removed.
Here are some suggested points to assist you in loading your furnace.
1. Make sure you have your fuel readily available to ll your furnace. (i.e. a wheelbarrow
full of wood near the furnace)
2. Maintain a clear, clean area in front of the furnace.
3. Open the outer front door. This allows you access to the inner rebox door as well as
engages the AFS. This turns on the fan and blows air into the rebox to decrease the
possibility of the exhaust igniting and creating a “ash back” before you open the main
rebox door.
4. Turn on the light switch. The light should turn on and the combustion air blowers
should turn off if they were operating correctly.
5. Wait a few seconds for the re to die down or for the exhaust to clear.
6. Standing to the right, next to the exterior door, with your left hand and your left arm
outstretched, pull re box door handle out of the safety latch.
7. Crack the rebox door open about two inches and allow any pressure left over in the
rebox to escape.
8. Open the rebox door as you step backwards towards the exterior door. This allows
you to be out of the way if there is a “ash back” or exhaust exiting the door opening.
9. Set the rebox door handle into the holder provided on the outer door.
10. After all exhaust has been eliminated, give the ashes over the grates a light stirring
with a long rake.
11. Add the necessary fuel to the rebox, loading the wood parallel to front and back,
being careful not to push ashes into the air boxes. Do not let wood sit on top of the
air-box.
12. Close the rebox door and latch securely.
13. Turn off the light switch. This will return power to the blowers and turn off the light.
14. Close and lock the exterior door.
NOTE: The X Series rebox is not square, some longer wood maybe loaded in the outer
sides of the rebox, but the max wood length can be easily loaded in the middle of the
rebox; remember to load the wood parallel to front to back
